George Galfo's Mystics

George Galfo's Mystics
Singing Their Way Into Your Heart

Let us go back in time. The key words here are Doo Wop and harmony - light, simple and ever so beautiful. It was the late 50's and the words were heard on the airwaves and fans sang along,

"Hushabye, hushabye - oh my darling don't you cry, Guardian angel from above
- send a message to the one I love..."

Recording on the Laurie label, the group was originally offered "Teenager in Love", which was written especially for them by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. However, Laurie execs had other things planned and gave away the hit record to another artist by the name of Dion. The Mystics weren't ones to be silenced and soon thereafter made up for slight with their own "golden great" called, "Hushabye" followed by "White Cliffs of Dover" and "Don't Take the Stars".

George Galfo started his career in the entertainment industry as a member of the Overons in 1958, which later became known as The Mystics. He sang second tenor as an original founding Mystic member. Made appearances with the Mystics on: the Clay Cole Show; American Bandstand; Alan Freed's "Big Beat Show"; Jim Gallant's Bandstand in CT, Alan Freed Stage Show at the Brooklyn Fox, toured with Cavalcade Of Stars, run by the General Artists Corp., made a few Palisades Park appearances hosted by Cousin Bruce Morrow. He was a back up singer for Connie Francis on her 1959 release "Tommy" and for other artists who were under the Laurie Label umbrella.

George is EXCITED being back in the limelight with his own group George Galfo
’s Mystics. He takes pride as the New Voice of “Hushabye” the group's biggest hit along with the leads on “Don't Take The Stars”, “Darling I Know Now","White Cliffs of Dover", and "Adam & Eve". He can be heard on all the Mystics original recordings.

The Mystics under his trademark George Galfo's Mystics have been taking South Florida by storm. George Galfo's Mystics tunes are getting massive amounts of play on oldie radio stations around the country, worldwide on the Internet stations.

George looks back with pride as a new day has begun. Keeping those harmonies
coming, original Mystic, George Galfo, is achieving this with his own celebrated group. Joining him are:

consisted of four guys from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Joe sang with

Paramounts In Calif. He joined a local Fla. group Reunion as their First Tenor

him which lead to becoming the First Tenor for Dion's tour during 1997-1998
and worked on Dion's "Deja Nu" CD featuring the hit song, "Shu Bop (The Lost
Track)". The song can also be found on Dions latest CD, New Masters.
